Sombra's Midnight Star

Once upon my Midwinter (Arc two) [edited]

‘Dancing bears
Painted wings
Things you almost remember’

A ghost of green and blue unicorn raced across Twilight’s vision, laughing at someone behind her. “Do I know her?” whispered Twilight as she floated in the gray mist. Another unicorn, this time pink and yellow, was dancing in a ballroom. 

‘And a song
Someone sings
Once upon my Winter’

“Who’s singing?” The vision changed. Fire burned the forest as ponies ran. Wendigos chasing frighten ponies. Picking them off one by one. A unicorn with her eyes was frozen to death. 

“Someone holds you safe and warm
Alicorns prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully across your memory!
Ah~.”

A scream cuts through the song. Pain slicing Twilight side as a knife is shown in her vision. A mare with her eyes lay dying on the ground. Snow white hooves leaving the scene.

‘Someone holds you safe and warm
Alicorns prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully across your memory!’

Twilight felt fire going down her throat as she heard Celestia’s voice.

“This is the only way for harmony to continue in safety. I’m sorry little one, I cannot let you live. You will bring Him here. Now drink!”

“Far away!
Long ago!
Glowing dim as an ember~”

A yellow unicorn is reading a book using her magic around her library. She had Twilight’s eyes. Luna and Celestia arguing over a dead body of the unicorn. Though this Luna looks much taller and older almost similar to Nightmare Moon but with her current colors.

“How long is this cycle going to continue Sister?!? This is unfair to her! To them! There has to be another way! You need to let go of your grudge and for once just listen to me! ” Luna shouted at her sister. Celestia is seen scowling and shouting something before storming off not even bothering to turn around as Luna looked shocked with tears rolling down her muzzle. Luna is later seen burying the body silently still crying. “I’m so… so sorry… I promise… I’ll make my sister pay for ignoring Us.”

‘Things your heart
Used to know’

Sombra dancing with a mare with an ice blue coat. She also had Twilight’s eyes. Whispering sweet nothings in her ear. It looked like they were happy. Pain laced through Twilight’s body, starting with her legs. Then it spread throughout the rest of her body. She looked down only to find ribbons of red slicing across her body. She cried out for help, but none came until it was too late. She saw Princess Celestia’s rainbow mane as cuts bloomed all over her skin and fur.

A flash of Sombra’s red eyes filled with tiers as it went black.  

“Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings~”

A ghost of a small filly looked up with tear stained fur right into Twilight’s very soul singing the last of the song with a misty cloud of shimmering silver in a hazy outline of a very large unicorn mare possibly larger then Celestia.

“Once upon my Winter~~”

“Midnight! You goin’ to be late! Wake up!” A new voice broke through the haze.

‘Oh Sh…’
